The Bean was desperate last night for an apron of her own (not a smock, for babies, but a REAL apron, like mama.

she chose this squirrel print from my stash (along with about 12 others), and then I used some scraps of blue shirting to put on the ruffle and waistband. Within seconds of putting it on happily, she was complaining over the lack of pockets. (which were missing because I couldn't bear to cover up the adorable squirrels)

she INSISTED that there must be 2 pockets ("one for this hand, and one over here, for this hand")

here's a little action shot...

and here's the big drama shot, since I asked her to hold still and pose so I could take a picture. Tragic, right?
